Abstract

This study conducted an ex-ante analysis of PCAARRD [Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic and Natural Resources Research and Development ] Industry Strategic S and T [science and technology] Plan for Native Chicken that aims to validate the baselines and benchmark set for the program, to map the programs adoption and impact pathway, and lastly to conduct a Benefit Cost Analysis to assess the viability of the program for each implementation sites (Bicol, Bohol, and Zamboanga Peninsula [Philippines]). By conducting a series of Key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and field surveys, the research managed to realize its objective. Upon validation of the initially set benchmarks and baselines for the Native Chicken ISP, it was discovered that these benchmarks and baselines are unfitting for the program since the data used to set them are only applicable for broiler types. The study provided a new set of benchmarks and baselines through the help of several industry and technical experts. The study also mapped the program's adoption and impact pathway in order to establish linkage between the program's expected output and target outcome. In addition, issues and challenges faced by the program were also identified and discussed. Meanwhile, results of the Benefit Cost Analysis suggest that the program is indeed viable for all the implementing sites with the assumption of an ideal scenario. The study provided evidences that among the three implementation sites, the program implemented in Bohol is expected to generate the highest returns. However, upon performing sensitivity analysis, the study found out that the viability of the program can be easily affected by alternative state-of-the-worlds which includes following: (1) adoption of POT 1 to 3 only; (2) adoption of POT 1 and 4 only; and (3) reduction of adoption rate by 50%. The simulation of BCA for each scenario resulted in mix outcomes.
